Hello everyone, level editor on Marble Blast Platinum won't let me use any of my own files for level editor. I make them on constructor. If I try to use them, I always get this error that says "DISCONNECT ERROR (Invalid Packet.)". Whether if I use the MarbleBlastMap2Dif.exe, or the map2dif_plus_mbg.exe, I still get the error. I tried moving my .dif files from the "addon" folder to the "interiors_mbp" folder, but I still get the error. Even if I make just cubes, cylinders, or tubes, no matter what shapes I make, on constructor, I just keep on getting the error. I am using a Windows 7 Desktop computer. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Many thanks.

Sounds like you're missing one of the textures you used in the map. Make sure to copy all of them into the interiors directory, otherwise you'll get Invalid Packet errors.
This signature is real code
Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

If I may add on to give a little more detail...

As HiGuy said, the high likely cause of your error is that you're missing some kind of texture. Just in general, you can get Invalid Packet errors for missing textures, or for some skybox cases, missing a piece of the skybox or having the actual skybox in a different directory than the place it's being looked for in the .mis file.
There's a bunch of ways you can get an Invalid Packet error. Whether it has something to do with a screwed up brush for the actual interior or an item is killing your level, to my current knowledge Invalid Packet errors are caused by anything that's an image.

Just a little extra info for you so you may know what kind of "mistakes" to look for when you get the Invalid Packet error.
